Salvatierra de Miño has a population of around 8,000 people, making it a small but vibrant community. The majority of the population is of Galician descent, with Spanish and Galician being the primary languages spoken. The town has a relatively even distribution of age groups, though like many rural areas in Spain, there has been a gradual decline in the younger population as many move to larger cities for work.
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of international visitors and expatriates, particularly from neighboring Portugal, due to the town’s location along the border. This has contributed to a growing sense of cultural exchange and diversity in the area.
